Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

These are all significant business opportunities, but also small amounts of money.

At the same time, it was announced that merchants who hoarded special metals would also go there. Although special metals are hard currency, the Soul Master system of the three great empires is far inferior to that of the Sun Moon Empire, so the demand for special metals is not very large, resulting in most of the mined special metals being hoarded in the hands of certain forces.

Those people themselves were also helpless; they didn't want to drive down market prices, so they could only continue to hoard most of the special metals in order to stabilize the market.

This is similar to the diamond industry in my previous life. The diamond itself is not valuable. Even without the emergence of artificial diamonds, the reserves are quite considerable. It's just that some people have hyped it up. The most important thing is that they have tied it to the meaning of love.

However, compared to special metals, gold soul coins are more practical for merchants, as they can better help them grow and become stronger.

Those businessmen will surely be very interested in what I've done.

Tang Ya and her companions, who had already made preparations, came out, packed up the tent, mounted their horses, and headed towards Xingluo City.

Tian Hao did not ride a horse; he gave the horse to Ah Li and walked instead.

Previously, Yang Erlang's body was used to ride a horse to conceal the Devouring Mech and assist in completing the fishing plan, so as not to scare away those people. Now that it has been revealed, there is naturally no need to reveal Yang Erlang's body again.

Moreover, not revealing Yang Erlang's body can make some people wary. After all, this kind of mecha body exceeds the limits of many people. They will not think it is their real body. At most, they will think it is a large suit of armor or a soul tool puppet, with the real body hidden in the dark.

As long as they cannot determine the location of their true identities, those people dare not act rashly, fearing retaliation afterward, such as Shrek Academy.

After traveling for a day, just as they were about to set up camp and rest, a figure suddenly flew rapidly from behind and landed in front of Tian Hao. It was none other than the War God Douluo Xian Lin'er.

However, compared to her weakness when she left in the morning, Xian Lin'er's aura is much stronger now, clearly indicating that she has recovered a lot of soul power, and her combat strength has also recovered considerably.

"Is something wrong?"

Tian Hao asked, too lazy to guess why this woman had come alone, since she would definitely tell him anyway.

At the same time, I was surprised that this old lady had actually broken through and reached level 95 in soul power. It seems that the previous stimulation was indeed quite significant. This is all thanks to me, Tian.

"I want a video of Yan Shaozhe, and I'll trade this soul bone for it."

Xian Lin'er didn't hesitate; with a cold expression, she took out a soul bone.

"Dean Yan is my closest friend!"

Looking down at the elderly woman in front of him, Tian Hao rejected her suggestion.

Although they had conflicts, they became friends after a fight. Before leaving, Dean Yan even sacrificed himself and dressed up as a woman to dance goodbye.

Dean Yan made such a great sacrifice, how could he do something to hurt her?

I, the Gluttonous King Shizhuo, am not such a superficial person.

Xian Lin'er remained silent, staring intently at the lump of iron before her. She couldn't believe that this thing had such principles.

Sure enough, Tian Hao spoke again.

"The price has to be increased!"

Upon hearing these three words, Xian Lin'er was speechless, and Tang Ya and the others beside her quickly lowered their heads as well.

What do you want?

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Xian Lin'er was determined to get the recording.

"A flawless, top-quality star sapphire, size doesn't matter, come find me when you get it."

After stating his requirements, Tian Hao knew that Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department possessed a top-grade starlight sapphire. Although it was only the size of a thumb, it was flawless and perfect for completing his next project.

"In addition to the photos you asked for and Xiaoxuan's video."

Xianlin'er thought for a moment and then raised the price. As for that kind of top-grade star sapphire, although it was precious, it was nothing if there was no size restriction.

They have a single one in their Shrek Academy collection that is only used for research and has no practical value.

Moreover, apart from being able to collect items faster than other star sapphires, that top-grade star sapphire has no other special features, so there's nothing wrong with trading it to the other party.

"make a deal!"

Tian Hao readily agreed, after all, the other party only needed a backup, not the whole thing, and the price was already quite reasonable.

Without saying much, Xian Lin'er took flight and returned in less than an hour, bringing the starlight sapphire.

"As expected of Shrek Academy, the best in the world, they even have such a collection."

As he handed over the newly replicated recording crystal, Tian Hao took the top-grade star sapphire and feigned surprise.

Starlight sapphire is the best material for making storage soul tools, as it possesses the purest spatial energy. This flawless, top-grade starlight sapphire is a rare treasure, not even recorded in the Martial Soul Empire ten thousand years ago.

"Aren't you afraid we'll seek revenge? These things can't restrain Shrek. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Having obtained the recording crystal, Xian Lin'er stared intently at the large object in front of her.

She acknowledged his wisdom, believing that with his intelligence, he would surely understand that this matter was not over and that they would inevitably have another battle, a fight to the death, until one of them fell.

However, the fact that the other side still chose to stop and not further damage Shrek must mean they had some kind of confidence.

"you guess!"

After replying with two words, Tian Hao turned and walked back to the tent that had been set up.

I will definitely kill you!

glaring at someone resentfully, Xian Lin'er turned back, wondering in her heart where the other person's confidence came from.

What exactly gives them such confidence?

With this question in mind, Xian Lin'er returned to the academy. Not long after she returned, she received a notice that Elder Xuan had summoned her.

Without daring to delay, Xian Lin'er hurriedly flew to the Sea God Lake and finally arrived at the deepest part of the Sea God Pavilion, where she saw Elder Xuan lying on the bed and her teacher Mu En, who was unconscious on the other side.

"Elder Xuan!"

Xian Lin'er first glanced worriedly at her unconscious teacher, then bowed to Xuanzi.

"Before Elder Mu fell into a coma, he asked me to give you the Sea God Token. From now on, your Soul Guidance Department can use all the resources of the academy. There is only one requirement: analyze that electromagnetic gun as soon as possible, and then replicate it. The sooner the better. If you can replicate his armor, that would be even better."

Xuanzi manipulated a blue token, which landed in Xianlin'er's hand, and solemnly gave her instructions.

Xian Lin'er is the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, so giving this Sea God Token to her will maximize its effectiveness.

As for Fan Yu, he is a research fanatic. His potential and talent in the field of Soul Master surpass those of Xian Lin'er. It is enough to let him lead the team to focus on researching the electromagnetic gun. There is no need for him to be distracted by other things.

"Our Soul Guidance Department will live up to your expectations!"

Xian Lin'er respectfully accepted the Sea God's Token and responded solemnly.

She had witnessed the terror of electromagnetic guns and cannons and knew their significance to Shrek Academy; they had to replicate them at all costs.

"Elder Xuan, that person probably has other trump cards up his sleeve. It won't be easy to deal with him."

Recalling the previous transaction conversation, Xianlin'er became increasingly worried and apprehensive, feeling that the thing was overly confident.

However, she couldn't figure out what kind of trump card the other party had.

"He is not easy to deal with, but that's precisely why we need to eliminate him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he continues to grow, it will inevitably be a disaster for Shrek."

Xuanzi was very unhappy when he talked about that person; he was unhappy the moment he learned the other person's name.

He himself was the Gluttonous Douluo, but that kid called himself the Gluttonous King. Wasn't that obviously meant to annoy him?

Of course, this is secondary. The real point is that the two sides are already enemies. Regardless of the initial reasons or who is right or wrong, they are now locked in a life-or-death struggle, and it can only end when one side falls.

It couldn't possibly be Shrek Academy members who fell, so it could only be that kid.

"Go back and allocate resources as soon as possible, and work with Fan Yu to analyze the electromagnetic gun. Shao Zhe will cooperate with you to replicate it as soon as possible."

Without saying anything more, Xuanzi gestured for Xianlin'er to leave.

"Lin'er takes her leave!"

Xianlin'er glanced at her teacher Mu En, who was still unconscious, then put away the Sea God Token and left the Sea God Pavilion.

Leaving aside what was happening at Shrek Academy, Tian Hao was working on that top-grade starlight sapphire on the other side.

After carefully examining the exquisite star sapphire and confirming that there were no problems, a corpse was taken out.

One of the men in black who attacked that night had the cultivation level of a Soul Saint, and his Martial Soul was a gem with a spiritual attribute.

After obtaining these people's corpses, he began to process them, scanning their soul memories before handing them over to the Soul-Devouring Spear to be absorbed and transformed into nourishment for the spear.

The Soul-Devouring Spear is a new form resulting from the fusion of the Soul-Breaking Spear and the Soul-Devouring Spider Martial Soul of the Evil Soul Master. It was perfectly fused by him and perfectly inherited the Soul-Devouring Spider's devouring characteristics.

Yang Erlang's Soul-Breaking Spear martial soul had already fused with the martial soul origin of that spear-wielding titled Douluo from back then, greatly enhancing its sharpness and making it no weaker than a top-tier martial soul.

Although the martial soul origin that has now been fused with the Soul Devouring Spider has not advanced further, it has gained a powerful devouring ability and also has the characteristic of autonomously devouring and growing, just like the Eight Spider Spears external soul bone of my nephew.

The nourishment it devours consists of martial spirit souls and soul power. All the soul masters it previously acquired that had no use were devoured by the Soul Devouring Spear.

The rest are all useful, such as this gemstone martial soul.

First, separate the spirit rings of the gem spirit to restore its purity, and even make it attribute-free.

That's how gemstone martial souls work. Normal gemstone martial souls are initially without attributes, but they will change themselves as the attributes of the added soul rings are applied, either having the same attributes or being tainted by the attributes of the soul rings.

Just as Tang San's absorption of the Mandragora Serpent altered his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, altering a gemstone martial soul is easier; this is an inherent characteristic of the gemstone.

Therefore, gemstone martial souls can develop towards any attribute. This Soul Saint chose the spirit attribute. Although spirit attribute soul beast soul rings are hard to find, they are also more powerful and unpredictable.

Then, the top-grade starlight sapphire was integrated into the blank gemstone martial soul, just like when it was refining a soul ring, and the spatial energy of the starlight sapphire was used to render it into a spatial attribute.

This step sounds simple, but it took a whole night to complete.

After the sun rose, the Gemstone Martial Soul completed its transformation and stabilized itself with the help of the Starlight Sapphire, maintaining its form without relying on the original owner's body.

"Why does it look so much like a Rubik's Cube?"

Looking at the gemstone martial soul emitting a faint blue light, Tian Hao couldn't help but think of the Tesseract from Marvel.

"Can a martial spirit fuse with a physical object?"

Seeing that the teacher had finally finished her work, Tang Ya couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Nannan and Ali were also very surprised. They had never seen or even heard of such a fusion before.

"In the end, a martial soul is just an energy body, not a real substance. It can be fused with physical objects. In the soul master system of the Star Luo Empire, there is a theoretical conjecture that the soul tool is fused with the martial soul. This kind of soul tool is called the natal soul tool, which can unleash power far exceeding the limit of the soul tool's own grade."

Gemstone Martial Souls are unique in that most of them initially have no attributes, but their attributes change depending on the choice of Soul Rings, or they are tainted by the power of the Soul Rings.

"Just now, I separated the spirit rings from that gemstone martial soul, restoring its purity. Then, I integrated it with the starlight sapphire, which possesses spatial power. Using the starlight sapphire's spatial power, I imbued the gemstone martial soul with spatial attributes and stabilized it using the starlight sapphire as its core..."

As they waited for the sun to fully rise, Tian Hao provided commentary.

"But what's the point of such a fusion?"

Jiang Nannan asked, puzzled. The others around her were also very curious, even Ah Li, a titled Douluo, couldn't see the mystery behind it.
